Lee- Well hello!
Lucia- WAIT A MINUTE! I thought you said you weren't going to continue this!
Lee- No, I said 'maybe' there's a difference :) But then I got many high demands for this to continue, so maybe I will! Plus I like torturing you :D
Lucia- Lee…..
(Amu and Ikuto from the famous anime "Shugo Chara!" appear at the door!)
Lucia- Amu and Ikuto from Shugo Chara! What are you doing here?!
Lee- Oh, their apart of the story.
Lucia- Wha….how….Won't this just make the Readers confused!
Lee- Nope.
Lucia- How?!
Lee- Maybe if you quit the blabbing and started reading you would find out.
Lucia- -_-
Lee- Amu! Do the disclaimer! (Points to the twelve year old, fashionable, pink hair girl)
Amu- Oh! Um…..Lee does not own "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" or "Shugo Chara!" Just the story and Lucia? *Why am I hear with maniac Lee again O_O*
Blood Petals
~By: Lee Loves KH Forever~
+Tick Tock 2 Lulu's Average Week+
I awoke as colors spurred through the drift of my dark sight. As I slowly flicker my dark chocolate-brown eyes I feel wind, soft and gentle, breezing by the shatter leaves within the trees. I finally open my eyes to see an ever so quiet green forest which blocks the awakening sun. Its morning….but what am I doing here?…
I turn my head till a sudden stabbing pain occurs on the left side of my neck. I let out a shaking hiss as the pain slowly throbs away. Why does my neck hurt this much? I lift my pale left hand and slowly touch the pained spot. Everything feels smooth, wait-
As I feel there are two hallow and dry spots….
"It's my dinner time. You're a noisy Herbivore. Your blood is mine….."
Oh my gosh…I just got bit by a vampire.
Millions of questions and reactions zoom in my head: No no no! How is this possible? Am I dead? He sucked out all my blood didn't he? Wha-
"Do do la la….do du la ha…." I hear a chiming melody to which I know the lyrics by heart. I look to see my open pocket watch-well actually my Grandmother's pocket watch. She gave it to me only a few years ago. My chilled hands pick the small round clock up.
The clock consists of roman-numeral numbers in your usual circular clock form. The two hands are black as coal but hold the shape of a rose with thorns along the base. A smooth glass top protects the melody clock, allowing time to move on. Every time you open it, it continues the song as it lets time pass and pass, slowly repeating itself again and again, "La la la hum….."
The small watch shows the time: 9:34am. I need to get home soon, it's amazing I was left this way with only a few leaves in my hair and well-holes in my neck. My Mother and Sister are probably panicking as to where I am, but my bite. I can't tell them, they'll panic….actually everyone would panic. Why did he let me live? Vampires are supposed to kill humans with one bite. Why hadn't he? I just sigh and close the watch's lid that gleams silver with a shining gold heart on front; a gold chain connects the whole thing.
The melody then stopped, allowing me to place it in my school bag right next to my foot. Gasp! I forgot I bought cookies… Ug I'll eat them later!
I grab a black hair tie hiding in my bag, tying all my long layered brunette hair. However, I leave it not so tied high, so I can place it over my left shoulder hiding my bite marks. I grab my bag and proceed to stand up when a wave of blur takes over my vision. It must be the loss of blood-dammit I'll just have to manage as I slowly walk home…
Even the slightest object keeps a memory
I walk to the front of a house where I can finally pronounce the words 'I'm home'. My head still feels light headed as blood slowly pumps along my veins. Never before had I felt so woozy.
My house is actually pretty small. Only a first floor with a small shallow basement. It has a small kitchen connected to an average living room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. To be honest were on the poor side-but that's fine. It's not our fault…it's theirs…..Anyways I walk through the black steel gate leading to a white and black house a small length from the front yard. I walk up to the bright red door that totally clashes with the rest of the grey-blue house. I open the door, slowly walking into the living room.
"And where were you, young lady?" A seemingly pissed voice shivers down my back. Her voice is far, but yet it feels so close-Mom.
I take off my shoes while looking at her, "Sorry Mom, my project took longer than expected so I had to stay at a friend's house." Her back is turned as she flips pancakes on the burning black stove. Her light brown hair was flowing along shoulders, while she wore her favorite blue and white apron. This signals that she was worried since she only wears that when either holidays come or she needs reassurance. "And who is this friend?" she asks me in a still iron voice.
"My friend Kyoko, I couldn't call because my phone died, and their phones are broken from Kyoko's brother Ryohei doing his famed boxing training." Well I wasn't completely lying. My phone is dead and Ryohei does do boxing, he's actually quite known around the school.
Mom gave a long sigh as she put her spatula down. Her figure turned around staring at me with her ocean blue eyes, bangs somewhat blocking them, "Lucia you-"
"Onee-Chan!" Something small runs to my legs and starts squeezing them all the way to my waist. I look down and smile to see none other than my little sister hugging my legs, "Good Morning Amu."
If you're getting to know me then you should know this, I love my little sister. LOVE. She is the person I care for the most. Her and the Garden are what is most important to me.
Amu is very different compared to the rest of us in the family. She has golden eyes and pink hair…The doctors said there was something wrong with her hair DNA or something like that; so it was either pink hair or plain bald. She is five years old and is currently enrolled in Namimori Elementary. Amu stared at me with her large round eyes, "Can Onee-Chan play with me today?"
I pated her pink hair, "Maybe later. I'm tried right now…" As soon as Amu lets go I slowly walk to my room. My head still feels fizzy….
"Are you ok Lucia?" Mom asks.
"Yeah, I'm just tired…" I enter my room, close the door, and collapse on my bed.
We are Family
The Next Day, I finished washing my face, slowly combing my hair. A long chunk of my hair sweeps over my forehead from right to left as always, half of it blocking my left eye. My layered hair goes all the way to my waist. My Mom hates how long my hair, but I simply ignored and continued to love my hair. Hey at least it's not all the way to the floor! When I finished I put the comb down staring at myself in the mirror.
The two bite marks are still there, but at least I don't feel dizzy anymore. Maybe… I decided to put a bright red scarf around my neck to hide the marks. Yeah it doesn't match with my school uniform, but at least we don't have some type of Disciplinary group to wrong us right?
Be careful of the predictions you make. The Future can always change
I walk in to the classroom where my friends Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto looked at me. Oh and Kyoko's here too but she's hanging out with other girls, I prefer to distant myself from. Like I said before, Haru and Kyoko are my only friends here at school whom are girls. The rest of my friends are boys. "Hello Lucia-Chan." Tsuna smiles and waves. Tsuna: known as 'Loser Tsuna' not to long ago, but for some reason his personality changed (in a strange way that involves him in being incredibly strong while wearing nothing but boxers sometimes…). So now he's not called that name much often anymore. He has brunette hair that's not nearly as dark as mine, but it's spikey like my favorite video game character Sora's from Kingdom Hearts.
"Hahaha hey Lucia." Yamamoto laughs as he walks next to me and Tsuna. Yamamoto has slight black spikey hair and is pretty tall, similar to Mori from the anime, Ouran High School Host Club. He's really awesome at baseball and his father owns a sushi restaurant.
"Hey." I smile and wave back. I can talk with Yamamotto more than anyone else in the school, in fact I clarify him as my third closest friend.
"Hey Baseball freak don't get close to the Jyuudaime!" And then came Grumpy's nephew Gokudera. He has short grey hair and a slight unpleasant personality, but I still consider him a friend. He sees me and yells, "Women, what are you doing here?! Aren't you supposed to be in Student Council, since you're the president?"
Seems the jig is up. Yes, I'm charge of Student Council of this school. I'm the leader of the group but it's not as fun as it looks. "I don't always have to go." I answer crossing my arms.
"Then you can help Lucia." A sudden small baby with a fedora hat and tiny lizard appeared.
"Reborn! What did I say about coming to school!" Tsuna slightly yelled.
Reborn completely ignored him and looked at me, "Lucia, come to Tsuna's house in three days around seven pm."
"What! Why?" Tsuna asked trying not to be rude at the same time.
"Because you have a History test in four days and Lucia is Top A when it comes to History. A Mafia boss needs high grades." Well I guess I should tell you about Reborn. Apparently (from what Yamamoto told me) the guys are playing some game about the Mafia and Reborn is Tsuna's home tutor. He's a strange baby who teaches Tsuna about being a boss in the Mafia. I know, strange…
"What! We don't need her! I'll help the Jyuudaime!" Gokudera replied.
"Now now, how about we all come." Yamamoto smiled, but all I could do was fake my own smile.
To be honest, I'm a bit afraid. Yes I'll admit it-I'm afraid that Vampire will return again, that's why he let me live right? To meet me once again? I'll just have to be on high alert that's all… "Sure." I reply.
You may not know it, but the Mafia shows truth
School ended soon enough with me not having to stay over this time. I walked along the park's sidewalk till my ears picked up a rustle in a nearby tree. I look to see a … a vampire? No, I don't need to worry about this one. My pale hand digs in my school bag pulling out a small sling shot I recently put in. I grab a nearby rock using it as my projectile. I fling the rock towards a branch. In ten seconds a fifteen year old falls to the ground. I smile, amused, "Hey Ikuto."
Ikuto looks at me with his Azul eyes as he rubs his navy blue hair, "Hi Lucia." His voice sounds unpleased.
I giggle in response, "Trying to act like a cat again?" Ikuto is tall with cat-like reflexes. Actually, you could almost say he is a human replica of a cat. Always sleeping, teasing, and other catly things.
Ikuto is overall my best friend. He's number one and will always be (sorry Yamamotto). No were not in a relationship (like I ever be with this pervert!), but I've known Ikuto for as long as I can remember. His father Aruto, and my father were best friends. I giggle some more as he stands up and pats the dirt off his legs, "Hey you want to come to my house?"
He looks at me and frowns, "Fine Sherlock but you better have some fish there." He begins to walk beside me.
"Sure Homes."
Where are you, Nya
We walk into my house where I yell, "Mom, Ikuto's here!" I hear ok signaling me to take my shoes off and plop onto the couch, "Hey since your up can you do me a favor and get me something to eat."
He comes over and hands me my favorite food of all with its supplies. A can of black olives, can opener, and a bowl. Ikuto sits down, "Honestly how can you stand those things?"
I flick him in the head, "Hey, don't make fun of black olives."
"Hi Ikuto and Onee-Chan." We look over to the left to see Amu.
"Hey Pinkette." Ikuto smirks as I open the can.
"I'm going to Rima's house." She smiles.
"Do you need a ride?" I ask while eating the little black treats.
"Nope. Their going to pick me up."
"Oh, ok."
"But before I go…..here Ikuto." Amu hands him a picture of a blue cat she drew on her own (now lets all think about a 5 year old's drawing. No they are not good, but you at least have to praise them.) "He reminds me of you." Ikuto simply frowns as a honk from a car outside echoes. "I have to go bye bye!"
"Bye." We both wave, me laughing in the inside, yeah I can be cruel when I want.
"So what anime is the otaku watching now?" Ikuto asks leaning back.
"Shakugan No Shana." I answer.
"You finished Soul Eater? Damn and I was really starting to like that guy named Spirit."
"That's because you and him are exactly the same!"
"How is that?"
"Your both big perverts!"
"It's not my fault you always have two round balls that are stuck to the front of you."
"Shut Up!" I yell covering my chest. I'm a D cup, but it's not my fault!
Ikuto simply chuckles, like he always does. I only ignore him as I continue to eat the black olives, but in the back of my mind I linger the question of wheatear to tell Ikuto about my bite mark or not.
Ahh Heritage. It brings you luck, it brings you shame. But Never let it take away the person you are
Three Days Later, I ended up not telling Ikuto about my bite mark, though I really feel I should tell him eventually. At the moment, I'm currently at my garden, placing the old soil with new that I bought from a nearby flower shop. I've been coming here earlier than I usually do cause well you know-I don't want to get bitten again.
My bite mark is beginning to disappear but I still wear a scarf or a tie over my neck. I've actually been getting a lot of questions about it lately, but I reply back saying I wanted to try something new.
However, I still wonder if he'll ever come back? My dark-chocolate eyes become focused on the beautiful Blood Petals.
Papa…..
If I could-
My head quickly shakes the thought away, focusing on the soil. I still wonder to this day why I've never seen the Blood Petals anywhere else? What is their reason? What is my reason?
What is my reason?
Later that Night, "So Oda Nobunaga's ambition was then finally complete when Toyotomi Hideyoshi united the land of Japan." I said as I erased all my writing and drawings of the small white board.
"Really?" Tsuna asks with a questionable look. "So they all followed that scary man's idea and they all became united?"
"Yes. Nobunaga may have seemed like a mad man, but he knew what he was doing." I reply.
"That's scary."
"I respect Nobunaga's ambition." Reborn said smirking.
"Of course you would!" Tsuna yelled which caused Reborn to kick him.
As Gokudera was helping his Jyuudaime, Yamamoto looked at me, "Haha Lucia how do you know all this stuff?"
I make the quiet sign, "That's a secret." Well not really. I get all my history facts from my Mom's side of the family.
"Haha ok." Yamamoto smiles.
I dig into my bag realizing I have homework too. I grab out my English assignment 'What do you live for?' I haven't worked on this very much. I'm not really sure who to explain why. I mean, I know what I live for: my sister and garden-but-there just has to be more. Right?
The door then bursts open, "Hahahaha it's Lambo-San!" Lambo the small five year old cow bursts in (and I'm not kidding, he seriously looks like a cow). Though he is known to be another strange creature, Lambo is-well-damn annoying!
Lambo starts running around the room as another voice shouts, "Lambo get back here!" It was the small, Chinese, five year old I-Pin. She is a lot more careful and respectful than Lambo. She actually reminds me of Amu a little.
They both start to chase each other around the room till Gokudera shouts, "Stupid Cow get out of here!" Lambo sticks his tongue out at him as the door opens again rivaling a women with pink hair.
Three…..Two….One…
"Ugk!" And there goes Gokudera falling to his knees and holding his stomach in pain.
It was none other than Bianchi, Gokudera's older sister. For whatever reason, whenever Gokudera sees her he always gets sick. However I think she is a very fashionable women who shows off her long pink hair. Sometimes I wonder if she had a problem with her hair DNA too… But she's very cool, though she has a strange obsession for Reborn.
Lambo laughs at Gokudera as Tsuna begins his usual panic mode, "Bianchi!"
She looks at all of us, "I need all of you to try something."
"Huh?" We all question back. That's when a nasty smell fills my nostrils causing my hair to spike up. Oh my gosh-Bianchi holds out a tray that looks like truffles on it. Truffles that have 'Kill' written all over it. It's her famous weapon. Her poison cooking…
She looks at us with no expression on her face, "I need you to try my new recipe."
"Hieeee!" Tsuna screeches, Gokudera still holds his stomach in pain, Yamamoto gives a little laugh, but I can tell he doesn't want to eat it either.
I look at my pocket watch, "Wow! Look at the time! Sorry guys but it's eight thirty so I have to go!"
"I thought you weren't leaving till nine." Bianchi says.
I pick up all my stuff and place it in my school bag. I then get up and head for the door, "Um…well I have to go deal with girl problems…" I know, not the best excuse out there, but at least it gets the point across.
Tsuna and the others give me a dumbfound look as Bianchi simply nods, "Ah, I see. Do you want one for the road?" She holds out her carbonated tray.
"Sorry, but I afraid that would hurt my stomach even more…" This is just getting plain weird. I'm not even on my 'You know what' yet. I think I still have a week left-Never mind! "Well bye guys!" I then dash out the door before I could hear Tsuna 'Hiee' again.
A second it takes for your life to change
The night sky is the color of Ikuto's hair. The stars are quite visible due to the only light be shown are those from the street lamps. I'm about five minutes away from my house, meaning that soon I'll be able to-
BAM!
A pain erupted my back, while my eyes forcefully closed. I opened them to see an alleyway. I try to move but something is pressed against my stomach making me stuck in place. My head tilts up to see crimson eyes meet my dark chocolate eyes; I notice raven black hair shine from the moonlight. Shit-
It was him…..
Lee- Well?
Lucia and Amu- O_O
Lucia- Why do I meet Hibari again!
Amu- Why am I five when I'm originally a twelve year old!
(Door bursts open showing a angry Hibari with black Pajamas on!)
Hibari- Who…..disturbed my sleep….
Lucia- o_o Oh crap…. (Grabs Amu's hand) Come on Amu we have to run!
Amu- What? Why?
Lucia- (Runs while dragging Amu) Don't ask why just run!
(Hibari ends up getting his tonfas and begins chasing Lucia and Amu, leaving a Lee and Ikuto behind.)
Lee- Oh, and I forgot. I'm looking for a Beta Reader for this story in case I want to post anymore chapters. If you're interested please let me know ^_^ (Looks at Ikuto) Well you've been quiet.
Ikuto- That's because I'm a Sexy Kitty and I know it. (walks away)
Lee- He knows it folks :D
